I am seriously loving this series, and can't believe I waited so long before picking it up. 

It may be dark- following Lana who is a serial killer as she is out for revenge on those who wronged her when she was younger, and her relationship with Logan- who is an FBI agent who has her case, and is trying to hunt her down, but it's also fun- and funny. It is a great quick read, and I am loving every second of it - and cannot wait to continue the story. 
5 ⭐ out of 5⭐. 
2🌶️ out of 5🌶️ - a couple scenes in some detail. 

Tropes: 
→ dark romance 
→ contemporary romance
→ serial killer h, x FBI H
→ forbidden romance 
→ revenge

AHHHH!!! Oh my good, this is just as good as the last book!!!

I am eating this up and I absolutely love ALL of it!!!

Lana is truly the best character ever. New role model? I think so! No, not in that way though... I could never be THAT but she is very strong and like damn, I want that. Taking control of her life, as she should!!

She really is an Angel that Laurel named her to be. A dark angel maybe, but still an angel.

I can't wait to read the next book!!!

I liked this one a bit better- still not my type of story, but it's short so eh

Didn't like how she compared trauma, like.. I get that she suffered immensely but c'mon, you have no right to do that

*NO SPOILERS* 
This book has a iron grip on me although it is not for the lighthearted. It is dark and morals are tested but it is an amazingly written and has a very powerful and strong message. There is a strong female lead and an interesting twist.

Well, having watched the vast majority of Criminal Minds, this volume of the series mimicked a specific episode.  This has only furthered my feelings of it originally being a fanfiction.

Still thrilling, will be continuing onto the next.
